Harry Potter’s Natural Villain Chapter 8: Branch

　　 The sky was getting into dusk, and Malfoy glanced out of the window unintentionally, only to see mountains and woods under the deep purple sky. The train slowed down gradually.

　　 The train will arrive at Hogwarts in five minutes. Please leave your luggage in the car and we will send it to the school for you. "The sound echoed on the train.

　　 "It's finally here." Hearing this voice, a strange emotion rose from Malfoy's heart, with a little confusion in his excitement, perhaps the most true portrayal of his heart.

　　 The train slowed down, and finally stopped. The passengers shoved and shoved, rushing to the door, and down to a dark and small platform. Malfoy put the book back in his suitcase and joined the crowd.

　　 "His." Malfoy couldn't help taking a breath. The temperature outside the car is not high.

　　 "First-year freshman! Come here, be careful of your feet." An unusually tall man is maintaining order, with a thick beard on his face.

　　 "I guess he really has giant blood." Malfoy looked at Hagrid silently.

　　 Then the freshmen followed Hagrid and slid and stumbled, seemingly down a steep and narrow path. It was pitch black on both sides of the path.

　　 "Turn this turn, you will soon see Hogwarts for the first time." Hagrid shouted back. Then there was a burst of loud "Oh-!" A black lake suddenly spread out at the end of the narrow path. On the high hillside on the other side of the lake stands a majestic castle. The top of the castle is lined with spires and windows are gleaming under the stars.

　　 "This is Hogwarts." Malfoy stared at the scene in a daze. Unlike the gloomy atmosphere of the Malfoy family private estate, Hogwarts has shown a heavy sense of history. The ancient masonry and mottled stone walls all show the school's long history.

　　 "Each boat cannot exceed four people!" Hagrid pointed to a group of boats moored on the shore and said loudly.

　　 "Pansy!" Malfoy saw Pansy in the crowd and couldn't help shouting. It's better to take a boat with Pansy than with some strangers.

　　 "Humph!" Pansy saw Malfoy with a dissatisfied expression on his face, and got into another boat without looking back.

　　 "Where did I offend her again?" Malfoy shook his head, still wondering why Pansy's attitude toward him changed again.

　　 "Ask her again later." Malfoy thought, stepping into a small boat at random.

　　 "Are you all on the boat?" Hagrid shouted, taking a boat by himself. "Well, go ahead!" A group of small boats slid across the mirror-like lake and drove forward. Everyone was silent, staring at the huge castle high into the sky. When they approached the cliff where the castle was, the castle seemed to rise above their heads. "Head down!" Hagrid shouted as the first boats approached the cliff. Everyone bowed their heads, and the boat carried them through the ivy tent covering the front of the cliff to the secret open entrance. They appeared to be underground in the castle along a dark tunnel, and finally reached a place similar to an underground dock, and then climbed onto a ground of gravel and small pebbles.

　　 Malfoy and a group of students got off the boat one after another.

　　 "Thanks Merlin!" Neville suddenly stretched out his arms and shouted ecstatically. Neville found his Raffle on an empty ship.

　　 "I think you must have found your toad." Malfoy said, standing behind Neville.

　　 "Really, I'm so grateful." Neville stammered a little excitedly, although there may be some in normal times.

　　 "Since I found it, let's go." Ma Erfu looked around again, but unfortunately he didn't see Pansy.

　　Under the light of Hagrid's lantern, the freshmen climbed a tunnel in the rock, and finally reached a flat and wet grass in the shadow of the castle.

　　Everyone climbed up a section of stone steps and gathered in front of a huge oak door. Hagrid raised a huge fist and knocked three times on the gate of the castle.

　　 The door opened immediately.

　　 "Thank you, Hagrid." A tall, black-haired witch in an emerald-green robe stood in front of the gate with a serious expression.

　　 Afterwards, Professor McGonagall took the freshmen to a small room. The room was small. When people crowded in, the small room became more crowded.

　　 "Welcome you to Hogwarts," Professor McGonagall said, "The opening banquet is about to begin, but before you go to the restaurant, you must first determine which college you enter. Classification It’s a very important ceremony, because during your school, the college is like your home at Hogwarts. You have to take classes with other students in the college, stay together in the college’s dormitory, and share in the college’s public rest. I spend my spare time in the room.

　　Professor McGonagall then introduced the four colleges, certain matters of the branches, and certain rules of the school, such as the extra points and deductions between colleges, and the college cup.

　　 Harry and Ron whispered and looked a little nervous. He thought he was going to do a magic test, and Hermione kept reciting the spells she had learned.

　　 Malfoy is a little absent-minded in comparison. In his eyes, it’s more important to find Pansy now to find out what happened.

　　 "I found you." Malfoy glanced around and finally saw Pansy. She was talking and laughing with a few girls next to her.

　　 The space is so small that Malfoy can only squeeze through the crowd step by step.

　　 "Ladies, can you interrupt your conversation?" Malfoy walked up to Pansy and said, "I think my friend and I have some misunderstandings that need to be clarified. Are you willing to do this for me?" Malfoy leaned slightly, an impeccable courtesy.

　　 "Pansy, I'm looking for you, the boyfriend is very handsome. We won't bother you." The girls next to him joked, obviously not believing Malfoy's misunderstanding.

　　 "I have nothing to say to him." Pansy said coldly.

　　 "I'm really angry, so I need to coax it even more." The girl next to me continued to joke, and then walked to the other side, creating conditions for Malfoy and Pansy to be alone.

　　 "I think at least I should know where I am wrong, right?" Malfoy asked first.

　　 Pansy bulged his cheeks and thought for a while and still spoke; "You didn't know that you came to me in the car, do you know how boring I am in the car?"

　　 "Uh..." Malfoy was a little confused, obviously he didn't think so much.

　　 "Look, you obviously forgot me." Seeing Malfoy's somewhat unnatural expression, Pansy obviously guessed the truth.

　　 "I also went to other carriages to look for you." Pansy's voice suddenly became quieter, but he could still be heard.

　　 "By the way, maybe you just think I'm annoyed by avoiding me, otherwise I can't find you." Pansy seemed to have thought of something, and her voice suddenly became louder again.

　　 "Look, the retribution of privilege is here." Malfoy groaned in pain, and it was obvious that Pansy had only found the normal compartment. The special is obviously ignored by her.

　　 "Then my father is to be blamed." Malfoy quickly threw the pot away. Approaching Pansy's side, he said; "It's all the positions my father arranged for me, and I don't know you will come to me." Malfoy explained.

　　 "Even if you didn't avoid me, you must have forgotten me." Pansy refused to spare.

　　 "Right!" Malfoy seemed to think of something.

　　 "I was helping Neville to find toads, the Neville of the Longbottom family." Malfoy said, "You know, my father always wants me to have a good relationship with other people, and the Longbottom family also He is pure blood, I can't ignore him."

　　 "That little fat man is indeed a bit silly, but is that toad more important than me?" Pansy asked again.

　　 "This question is more difficult to answer." Malfoy thought, his face even more embarrassed.

　　 There was a moment of silence.

　　 "No, I can't help it anymore." Pansy, who was still frosty just now, suddenly chuckled.

　　 "Huh?" Malfoy obviously didn't understand what was going on. I saw that the girl who was with Pansy before was also laughing.

　　 "I knew you, a nerd, would never have thought so much. The expression just now was very funny, it's much more fun than usual."

　　 Malfoy didn't know at this time that he was teased by Pansy and her friends.

　　 "I always looked like that little gentleman, he looked fake, now I finally have a different expression."

　　 Pansy suddenly got close to Malfoy and said, "Last time I threatened you, you were so calm. You are still anxious today. It seems that I am still important in your heart. I am very happy. This is to reward you. After that, Pansy stood on tiptoe and kissed Malfoy on the forehead like a dragonfly.

　　 The girl next to her made a booze. Pansy's face was also covered with red clouds.

　　 "This is really..." Malfoy can only lament that he has provoke a little witch, although it doesn't feel bad.

　　 "Please be quiet while waiting!" McGonagall seemed to notice the commotion here, said seriously, and then left the room.

　　 "Ah!" The girls who were laughing just now suddenly screamed, and a lot of boys' voices were also mixed.

　　 Malfoy looked back, only to see twenty ghosts suddenly appeared on the wall. These pearly white, translucent ghosts glided across the room, whispering to each other.

　　 "Intangible, thinking, translucent, and not aggressive in visual inspection. It seems that this creature probably has these characteristics." Unlike everyone's frightened reaction, Malfoy took a closer look and quickly Summarized several characteristics of the ghosts now appearing. Perhaps this is the characteristic of Xueba.

　　Professor McGonagall is back. The ghosts wandered through the opposite wall in file and disappeared. "Now, in a single row," Professor McGonagall said to the first-year freshmen, "follow me."

　　 Malfoy was about to leave when he realized his sleeves were being pulled. I saw Pansy looking at herself with tears in her eyes.

　　 "Don't pretend, I know I didn't scare you, you have never been to these places in my house before." Malfoy unscrupulously opened Pansy. After the two people got along, of course, it was not limited to Malfoy's storytelling. Pansy, who was adventurous by nature, naturally forced La Malfoy to go to many secret rooms in the manor. Naturally, ghosts have never been seen. How could a family with so many years of inheritance not have a few ghosts.

　　 "I was still saying you were a bit interesting just now. It's the same thing so quickly, it's boring." Pansy curled his lips and returned to his normal expression, as if nothing happened. Obviously not satisfied with Malfoy's response.

　　 The two followed the crowd out of the room and came to a luxurious dining room.

　　The students from other classes in the college have all been sitting around four long tables. Above the tables, thousands of candles floating in the air illuminate the dining room. On the four tables were glittering gold plates and goblets. There is another long table on the top table of the restaurant, which is the seat of the teachers.

　　Professor McGonagall took the freshmen to the other side, facing the seniors in a row, with the teachers behind them. The candlelight flickered, and hundreds of faces staring at them looked like pale lanterns. The ghosts were also mingled with the students, shining dimly in silver.

　　 Malfoy looked up to the ceiling, only to see the velvety black ceiling glittering with stars.

　　 It’s hard to believe that there is a ceiling on it, and it’s hard to believe that the roof of the restaurant is not open.

　　"How can we keep a spell in a certain range all the time?" Unlike the exclamation of others, Malfoy fell into deeper thinking.

　　Professor McGonagall gently placed a four-legged stool in front of the freshmen, and then placed a top wizard hat on the stool. The hat was patched, worn out, and extremely dirty.

　　 The restaurant is silent.

　　 Then, the hat twisted. The brim of the hat splits a wide slit, like a mouth—the hat begins to sing:

　　"You may think I am not pretty,

　　 But don’t judge people by their appearance.

　　If you can find a hat more beautiful than me,

　　 I can eat myself.

　　You can make your bowler hats black and shiny,

　　 make your top silk hats smooth and crisp.

　　 I am the magic hat used for the Hogwarts test,

　　 is naturally taller than your hat.

　　 any thoughts hidden in your mind,

　　 can't hide from the golden eyes of the magic hat.

　　 put it on and try it,

　　 I will tell you which college you should be assigned to.

　　You may belong to Gryffindor, where there is bravery buried in my heart,

　　 Their courage, boldness and boldness make Gryffindor outstanding;

　　You may belong to Hufflepuff, the people there are honest and loyal,

　　 Hufflepuff’s students are persevering and honest, and are not afraid of hard work;

　　If you have a shrewd mind, you may enter the wise old Ravenclaw,

　　Those wise and knowledgeable people will always meet their colleagues there;

　　Maybe you will enter Sitlin, maybe you will make sincere friends here,

　　 But those cunning and insidious people will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.

　　 Come and put on me! Don’t be afraid! Don’t panic!

　　 in my hand (even though I don’t even have a hand) you are absolutely safe

　　Because I am a thinking hat!"

　　 After the hat sang the song, there was thunderous applause in the audience. It bowed to the four dining tables one by one, and then stood still.

　　 At this time, Professor McGonagall walked a few steps forward, holding a roll of parchment in his hand, "Whoever I call now, put on a hat, sit on a stool, and wait for the branch." She said , "Hannah Abbot!"

　　 A ruddy-faced little girl with two golden braids stumbled out of the line and put on a hat that just covered her restricted eyes. She sat down. There was a pause—"Hufflepuff!" shouted the hat.

　　The people at the table on the right applauded Hannah and welcomed her to sit at their table.

　　 One by one, the new students put on their hats and accepted the decision made by the sorting hat for them. Of course, this is not entirely true. The sorting hat actually follows the wishes of my heart. The Sorting Hat can make his own suggestions, but if I insist on a certain college life and death, the Sorting Hat will not go against my will.

　　 For example, when Harry Potter was in the sorting house, he always thought: "Don't go to Slytherin, don't go to Slytherin." Although the sorting hat may prefer him to go to Slytherin, he still respects Harry's choice. .

　　 As for Neville, who may not seem to be assertive, the sorting hat looks at his inner qualities.

　　 Obviously the Sorting Hat is still very accurate. On the original world line, Neville showed the extraordinary courage of a Gryffindor.

　　 Then Hermione and Neville were all assigned to Gryffindor one after another.

　　 "Draco Malfoy," said Professor McGonagall.

　　 "The soul is no longer a person, will the result change?" Malfoy's heart was no longer as calm as it was at this time, but lost in thought.

　　 Malfoy walked out of the queue slowly while thinking, putting on the Sorting Hat.

　　 is no longer like the original: "As soon as the hat touched his head, he screamed: "Slytherin! ""

　　The Sorting Hat fell into thinking, and soon a voice appeared in Malfoy's ear.

　　" Ravenclaw, absolutely Ravenclaw, I have never seen a child with such a strong curiosity after working for so long. I think the knowledge you have now will soon allow you to graduate directly. . Ravenclaw suits you well, isn't it?"

　　 "Oh, no!" Malfoy felt his hat shake on his head.

　　"The deep ambition, what kind of passionate ambition is hidden under the thirst for knowledge? Knowledge is only the means necessary for the purpose you are pursuing. Your purpose is not knowledge itself. After all these years of work, this time I I almost missed it."

　　 "Slytherin!" In the end, the Sorting Hat gave his answer.

　　 "Is this fate?" Malfoy smiled, then walked to the Slytherin table and sat beside Pansy.

　　 He didn't notice the complicated expression of Hermione in the crowd.

　　 "Ron is right. He is really a Slytherin. No, so what? Can you judge him to be a villain because of this?" Hermione struggled, obviously Malfoy before. What she said touched her greatly.

　　 "To be honest, I thought you, a nerd, were going to Ravenclaw." Pansy said.

　　 "Then my parents won't have to strip me alive." Malfoy exaggerated.

　　 "That's so funny." Pansy seemed to think of the scene and couldn't help but giggle.

　　 Suddenly, a wave of cheers resounded throughout the restaurant. The Weasley’s twin brother shouted: "We have Potter! We have Potter!"

　　 "It seems that our savior classmate is really attractive." Malfoy couldn't help sighing when he saw this.

　　 "It's just luck." Pansy curled his lips, obviously dissatisfied that the so-called "savior" went to the lion house. In her eyes, this kind of glory should only appear in Slytherin.

　　 was assigned to Slytherin with the last Bressabini. Professor McGonagall rolled up the parchment, picked up the sorting cap and left.

　　 A tall and thin old man stood up.

　　 Malfoy silently looked at the old man in the crowd.

　　 A long hooked nose that has been interrupted at least twice, wearing half-moon glasses, a pair of azure blue sharp eyes, a long silver-white beard, and silver-white waist-length hair. This is Dumbledore, the greatest wizard of our time!

　　 Dumbledore said: "Welcome everyone to Hogwarts to start the new school year! Before the banquet, I want to say a few words. That is: idiot! Crying nose! Scum! Twist! "Thank you everyone! "He sat down again. Everyone applauded and cheered.

　　 Then all the students started to enjoy the food in front of them.

　　 "Who would eat mints at dinner!" Malfoy couldn't help being speechless. Obviously Hogwarts has once again set the lower limit of British cuisine.

　　The dinner ended with difficulty, and Malfoy heard various versions of the school songs of the various colleges. If you want, you can sing the school song in a variety of tunes~IndoMTL.com~The Weasley twin brothers even used "Funeral March", and Dumbledore used his wand to conduct the last few bars for them.

　　 "The Slytherin freshmen follow me." After the party is over, the prefect will take the freshmen to find their respective bedrooms.

　　 Following the prefect, the Slytherin freshmen descended many flights of stairs and finally arrived in front of the common room.

　　 Behind an empty, wet stone wall, there is a long, narrow, low basement. The walls and ceiling are made of rough stones. The round, green lights are tied by chains. , Hung from the ceiling.

　　The giant snake sculpture on the door made a hissing sound: "Password?"

　　 "Pure blood." The prefect answered. Then said to the freshmen behind: "Remember this password, I don't want anyone to sleep in the aisle. Of course, I am not worried that you will catch a cold, but if I think no one will be happy to let the college be deducted."

　　 "Yes." The team answered neatly.

　　 "It seems that the **** of honor can make a Slytherin obey more than the order." Malfoy thought silently.

　　 entered the room, Malfoy glanced at the fireplace here, unconsciously compared with the home, and came to a conclusion: "It seems that Hogwarts is in short supply for education."

　　 Of course, this is just a joke.

　　 Then nothing happened, Malfoy found his bedroom, put the luggage he had brought up, and went to bed. The end of the day's trip.
